...if there is some outside force at work here, and if this was always going to happen, then it would make liars of our hosts.

[successives]

Would that really be surprising? They won't even show us their faces. I don't trust them.

[She sighs.]

[fishingforcompliments]

Would it be? I never saw the face of the voice that spoke to us on the island, but... what we were told was not untrue.

[so her only experience so far has been that hosts don't lie ... though she barely has experience with hosts]

[successives]

Even if they can't lie, which I'm not sure about... They could still be withholding important information or misleading us.

[She just has 0 faith in NPCs.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[that's valid. hal was A Lot.]

They may be... but to what end?

[successives]

It's hard to know just yet. All I'm saying is that they might not be as trustworthy and innocent as they want us to think. You shouldn't take everything they say at face value.

[fishingforcompliments]

I suppose you are right...

[She'd like to be able to trust them, but honestly, she's really not sure if they can. Especially not now that someone is dead.]

[successives]

[She can sense her discomfort, and after a moment:]

We can talk about something different.

[fishingforcompliments]

No, it is all right. We should consider all angles of this situation, even ones I am not wholly comfortable with.

[Turning away from something that's potentially the truth won't do them any good.]

[successives]

[She thinks that's pretty admirable, even if she doesn't say so.]

Right... It's probably going to get even more uncomfortable from here on out, anyways, so.

[fishingforcompliments]

We shall simply have to do whatever we can to gather the information we need.
